Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing.

Through your love for each other, through learning the art of making one person happy, you learn to express your love for the whole of humanity and all beings. Please help us develop the curriculum for the Institute for the Happiness of One Person. Don't wait until we open the school. You can begin practicing right away.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

Wherever we are we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other and the wonder of our breathing.

Every step taken in mindfulness brings us one step closer to healing ourselves and the planet.

To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living things with the eyes of compassion.

Fear is born from ignorance. We think that the other person is trying to take away something from us. But if we look deeply, we see that the desire of the other person is exactly our own desire - to have peace, to be able to have a chance to live.
